Little Kitty, Big City news & patch notes

! 🎉🎂🎈Welcome to Kitty’s Birthday Party!! 🎉🎂🎈

In this update, we’ve expanded the apartment area, adding several interactables including  a TV, record player, and musical instruments. Cause some mew-sical chaos and flip TV channels!

Oh, and who’s this? Meet Turt, your chatty turtle roommate. She's got a lot of thoughts on home improvement!

For Kitty’s birthday, we’ve added tons of little festive treats to the apartment. Enjoy cake, grab a party blower, pop balloons, and don’t forget to open your presents for a party hat!

Additionally, you can now teleport to the apartment after completing your climb.

Don’t forget to catch some Z’s in the new nap spot, too!

Maybe you can learn something from this lucky cat figurine while you’re at it?

Snap Some Celebratory Photos!

Of course, we’ve added some fun new stickers and frames to play with and add a celebratory birthday touch to all of your photos. Give everyone party hats!!

Start The Game as Your Custom Cat

A highly requested feature is finally here: you can now start and play through the entire game as your custom cat, giving your next playthrough a personalized twist. Give it a try! Whether you play as your own kitty, a fictional kitty, or a colorful abomination, you’ll see the Big City through fresh eyes.

The Amazing Digital Circus x Little Kitty, Big City

Who’s that weird purple bunny?!  In collaboration with our friends over at Glitch, we’ve included a free Jax hat and skin! You can find the Purple Bunny Hat already in your inventory, and obtain the skin in the customizer using the code ‘VEGAN’.

You can also find a cute little Pomni plush in Kitty’s apartment! What you do with her, however, is up to you. Drop her from high heights? Bat her around and into puddles? I’m not going to influence your decisions there…

Wait… Bing-Bong?!

You can now find Bing-Bong abandoned behind a trash can. No, I’m serious! Challenge yourself by taking Bing-Bong to new heights and see how far you’ll climb with him. Will you take him all the way home, or dump him? The choice is yours.

Check Out Our New Merch!

We’ve got some sweet new swag in our store, including some adorable embroidered pins, sticker packs, and a sick print in collaboration with the legendary Attack Peter, featuring our favorite gecko kaiju (Geiju??)

Gifting LKBC

We’ve also tried to make your gift shopping a little easier. PC players can now click a button on the game’s main menu to see whether friends have Little Kitty, Big City on their Steam Wishlist. We’re a little biased, but we think our furry friend is the perfect present for any cat fan! 🎁😻

Customizer Improvements!

More skins and new templates:

Check out our new wardrobe assist! We’re adding nine preset cat skins to give you a head start when customizing your Kitty. NINE! (Like nine lives, get it?)  Use them as-is to get a makeover in moments, or as the foundation for a bold new look! And we added more templates! Every feline fashionista needs more closet space, so we’ve DOUBLED the number of custom skins you can create! The 6 skin limit for consoles is now 12, and PC players go from 20 slots to an whopping 40!

Wrap and new shapes:

‘Tis the season for wrapping, so we’ve added a wrap feature to the Kitty customizer! It’ll let markings wrap around Kitty’s body, making patterns like ringed tails or striped legs a total breeze.  We also heard that cool shapes were going to be HUGE in 2026, so we’ve added a star and a swirl to our range of markings! They’ll be perfect for celestial Kitty looks AND distressingly bright ‘90s arcade carpet-inspired fur… ⭐️💫

Camera tweaks:

Last (but DEFINITELY not least), we’ve improved the customizer camera. It should now autofocus on the marking that you’re placing, meaning it’s easier to do fine detail work in awkward places. No more straining to see Kitty's armpit!

Holiday Card Contest on Discord!

We are having a festive Holiday Card Contest over on our Discord for some awesome prizes. Come pop by!

Meowdy, everyone! 

We are DELIGHTED to meow-nnounce that the Picture Purrfect Update for Little Kitty, Big City is OUT NOW and it's COMPLETELY FREE! 

Kitty Customization

You can now customize your Kitty using Tanuki's exciting new technology! Pick your favorite fur color, add a cool coat pattern, start a trend for bright green toe beans, or lovingly replicate your own beloved pet with a design of your very own! We're even giving you the ability to adjust eye color and pupil shape for each eye separately – a win for odd-eyed cats everywhere!

New Neighborhoods

You'll visit even more of the city, thanks to the new areas included in the Picture Purrfect Update! 

A residential part of the neighborhood gives you fresh insight into Doggo's day-to-day activities, and introduces you to a chaotic sibling double-act – one's a tech prodigy on a par with Tanuki, the other's a being of pure chaos!

We've also opened up two interior environments, each packed with surprises! Dare you play with the unpredictable inventions in Tanuki's secret workshop? Or would you prefer to scamper around the palatial home of fluffy super-influencer Taffy as she glares from her cat basket of despair? Only one way to find out…!

So much more!

In addition to the above, the update also brings:

• New quests!

• New hats!

• New emotes!

• Human foods (and their side effects!)

• A hugely expanded photo mode (Stickers! Filters! Frames!)

• New music tracks!

How do I find the new stuff?

New players: The Picture Purrfect Update content fits seamlessly into the base game, so you'll discover everything from the update as you play. Have fun!

Existing players: Welcome back! All you need to do is make sure you've polished off the To-Do list items for Beetle, Tanuki, and Big Potato (if you know, you know…)! 

Thank youuuuuuuuu!

We couldn’t be more grateful for all of the support we’ve received from our wonderful community since Little Kitty, Big City first launched, and The Picture Purrfect Update is just a small way for us to show our appreciation.
